PLANNING TO VISIT HAWAI'I ?
Here's Tip #7 To Make Your Trip More Meaningful & Enjoyable
Make an effort to learn some of the Hawaiian language and pronounce it correctly.
Get a Hawaiian Dictionary. The "big one" by Pukui and Elbert is great.
Buy a Hawaiian language tape set, such as "Learn Hawaiian Language at Home" by Kahikahealani Wight, available through Bess Press, 565 Harding Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96816 and www.BasicallyBooks.com
Visit an `Aha Punana Leo (Hawaiian laungage immersion) school to learn about the importance of supporting Hawaiian language programs. Consider making a donation to such programs. www.ahapunaleo.org
Department of Education Hawaiian Studies kupuna (elders) are available for group or private language lessons on Kaua'i.
Ask around for private language and cultural arts lessons.
Check with University of Hawai'i, Kapiolani Community College or other community colleges for classes.
